Popular Post webfact Posted November 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 19, 2021 By Panithan Onthaworn Thai Airways International (THAI), has launched its catering website Puff&Pie, offering a food delivery service in a bid to seek revenue while undergoing business restructuring amid Covid-19 crisis. “The development of the website is a step forward in digital transformation and to facilitate customers in the digital era,” the airline’s catering unit said in a press release on Friday. The pandemic led to sweeping restrictions on air travel, pushing airlines across the world into financial misery as demand plunged. And Thailand’s national airline, Thai Airways, was no exception.

Also, for this industry preventing theft of cash and raw materials and finished products is a nightmare, and to completely prevent/stop such theft costs a lot of money/resources. Just not worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post arithai12 Posted November 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 20, 2021 What's wrong with selling food? Many other airlines do it in these times, as well as selling merchandise, airplane parts to collectors, etc. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bob12345 Posted November 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 20, 2021 That place in the picture looks nice, do you need to book a seat 6 months ahead othewise your puff will be 600 baht? And do they move the seats closer to the tables every 6 months to be able to push in more and more people like they do in their planes? 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could possibly be selling those Chinese Doughnuts and Custard at an Airline price. Its possible to buy the same thing on virtually every Soi, with a realistic price of about 25 Baht, and probably better quality to boot 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post worgeordie Posted November 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 20, 2021 They don't know how to run an Airline, so sell all the planes and stick to selling pies, the losses will be a whole lot less. regards worgeordie 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xonax Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 (edited) The one thing we don't need, at least here in Bangkok, is another food delivery service. It surely is a lucrative business to deliver food, but the more competitors, the harder it will be to make money, as they only can compete on the price. Foodpanda recently increased their delivery prices and at the same time now combine deliveries, so that the last food order on the bike will be cold at the time of delivery. The last two McDonalds deliveries from Foodpanda I have received was cold and as cold french fries and burgers are not delicious, I filed a complaint. All they could offer me was a 20 Baht voucher, that can not be used in combination with any promotions.

These guys are in way to deep and will drown any day now imo, NO RESTRUCTURE is going to magically fix this mess that's for sure. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soi3eddie Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 If Thai airways would only introduce the menu below at their "Puff and Pie" shops here in Thailand I would certainly be a frequent customer. They managed to serve up a very decent breakfast from LHR to BKK a few weeks ago although it was made in the UK. Black pudding on a Thai airways flight who'd a thought it? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
